German Shepherd Puppy Training
Practice makes perfect...
You don't have to be a task master to get your German Shepherd puppy to behave. But
with proper obedience training-frequent short, playful sessions that emphasize
communication and interaction-you can teach your German Shepherd pup to listen
and learn....
As you probably noticed when you brought your little spitfire home, German Shepherd
puppies don't come equipped with house manners. It's up to you to teach them.
Fortunately, your youngster is like a little sponge. ready to soak up the knowledge that
will give him the confidence and security he needs to mature into a well-behaved adult
who's a joy to live with.
Training starts as soon as the German Shepherd puppy comes home. Training is
communication, not the mechanical execution of commands. Every time you interact
with you dog, you're training him.
It's never too early for German Shepherd puppies to learn the basic commands, but you
have to remember that they have very short attention spans. Use short, playful training
sessions of about 10 minutes each. You may also want to use motivational tools with
your German Shepherd puppy. Rewards like food, toys and praise all make training a
fun learning experience for puppies.
